CHEMEON Surface Technology, an U.S.-based surface treatment provider and SurTec, a globally operating surface technology specialist, have formed a strategic alliance to expand market access and support the effective use of their high-performance and sustainable surface treatment solutions worldwide.
The alliance brings together complementary regional strengths: while CHEMEON expands access to selected SurTec surface treatment solutions in the U.S. market, SurTec will offer CHEMEON products internationally, supporting customers with local technical expertise and established infrastructure.
As global regulations continue to increase and promote the phasing out and discontinued usage of hexavalent chrome, the partnership expands the availability of the MIL-DTL 81706B qualified (QPL) chemistries, CHEMEON's patented eTCP® trivalent corrosion protection (with its signature purple / violet visual indicator) and the SurTec 650 series of trivalent chemistries.
